Hello all. Well Wilcox has finally entrusted me to write one of these blog thingys so here goes.... After reading Sarah's last blog i feel it necessary to inform you all that although I slept through breakfast after a night on the booze with a friend from home (Redford), leaving Sarah to do all of breakfast,she got her own back in spectacular fashion on new year's day. Not only did she sleep through breakfast but in a cruel and bitter twist slept til 11 o clock leaving yours truely to do the lion's share of the work that morning-i s'pose i've got one in the bank now for the next time i feel like lieing in. Now i've got that rant out of the way,i can continue with season stuff........ Firstly, calm has been restored in ... read more

Hello all, Well what busy week we have been having here in Val. It has actually gone pretty slowly and has felt a bit like being on holiday. It will be very weird when our first guests arrive tomorrow as we have taken over the chalet at the mo with beer chilling on the window sill and ipods hooked up to the stereo. I don't think we have said yet who we are living/working with. In our chalet there is Chris the manager who has just graduated from Bath and Nick an Aussie guy who was living in London.

The first massive event of the week was the supermarket practise ... read more

Hi All Can't believe that I have been here for 7 weeks and going home now. The last 2 nights in Tignes were pretty funny - quite a few drunken photos attached to this one!

Hi All My 5 weeks in Tignes has passed so quickly and i'm loving it. Only 2 weeks left before I head home so trying to make the most of the snow and socialising. My skiing has really improved and feeling quite confident now, still not going to do any black runs yet though! Weather has been pretty good for the last week and hoping it's going to stay like that. Took a trip to Val D'Isere the other day and went shopping which was good then skiied back. Will hopefully get a night out there too before i leave. Missing everyone back home though and looking forward to seeing you after the 23rd. Added some other random photos. See you all soon Jx... read more

Tonight was Pimps and Prostitutes night. As you'll see from the photos it was the boys who made most of the effort dressing up and loved dressing in women's clothes! Had a really good night with lots of laughs - it's just unfortunate that i was working at 7am the next morning. Didn't stop me staying out til 3am though! Jill x... read more
